K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer. From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.
She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.
She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

would anyone here be interested in collaborating on cryptpad to write up a “Why Hexbear?” blurb for trans people for the sidebar? i know a couple people that are trying to hook hexbear into more trans spaces and having a central doc they can point to when people ask why they should switch to hexbear might be useful
would be especially helpful if you found hexbear useful for your transition and wanted to talk about it to more people

hi, does anyone wanna make the mega in the upcoming weeks? if so, reply to this post and i’ll add you to the list!
the list as it stands:
Zvyozdochka (11/4 - 11/10) oscardejarjayes* (11/11 - 11/17) HelltakerHomosexual* (11/18 - 11/24) GayTuckerCarlson* (11/25 - 12/1) Luna* (12/2 - 12/8) Eco* (12/9 - 12/15) EstraDoll (3/2 - 3/8) * after name denotes someone who has posted before and will be skipped by first-time posters
Hey comrades just some food for thought:
Previous megathreads have had the date structure of Nov 12 to Nov. 19 or similar, where as we now have what may look spiffy, it is read by a text to speech generator as ten twenty eight to onehundred and thirteen.
so while its not only in a date format that’s backwards to people outside usa, its also potentially real confusing for people with limited vision
i think for archival purposes as well, itd be good to standardise this, the previous Month, XXth was a good compromise (I’d also favour including the year)
I guess this impacts the date structure in the above comment too.
probably a discussion to be had on the matrix, for people who are more actively doing the work
i’ll add some stuff to the automated message, thank you!
Love your work :)
aw, i appreciate it
Probably a good idea for the future, and you make a very good point about adding the year for archival purposes. Even if not standardized, I’ll make sure to add the year on my next mega
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about making my public online presence as accessible as I can lately, its an unhill battle
I guess the posts are dated, but its easier to search them with date tags :)
can i make a very far off in advance request for the week of march 2-9 of 2025?
Is this your traniversary? If so, this is soooo kyooot.
yea…
Hell yes. This is so wholesome and powerful. 
Love my trans comrades.
will your room be clean by then?
also yes
i’m telling myself i’ll get my room clean by this week which really means it will be clean by about mid february of next year so probably?
it’s gonna take maybe 2 hours total, just do one little thing a day and you’ll have it done in like a week or so. i want to build bionicles and piss everyone off by calling them bakugans

bakugans
The toys were real neat (bakugans and bionicles alike). Bakugans unfolded into real cool shit tbh
read a damn book
I fail to see how going through my collection of smutty romance and pulpy sci-fi would help
b-but the legos
they have them at @Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net’s room now
We need two rooms, simple as

oops! i did it again.
i appreciate your dedication :)
is flirting just trying to make the other person laugh and have a good time and sexual innuendos?
is that it?
Next time a zoomer hits on me I’ll scare em off by telling them I had a blockbuster card as an adult
The purple is just as pretty as I hoped
Its a little glittery too, feels amazing.Oh yeah, also beginning to cook my mega post a month in advance. There’s no way I’m going to finish FE: TMGC in a month with how busy I am, so it’s going to be something a bit different 🧐
venting about irl organising
its realy nothingey, it's just negative
I turn my back while some people who seemingly had the right idea got into positions of power, and I put my hand up to fill a role after someone bailed mid term. It turns out the so-called-anarchists have been encouraging general membership to write articles, cool, cute idea. But I look at them, and they’re poorly researched, have no analysis, meandering, nothingey, and just wrong, filled with racist assumptions. Is anarchy just when you can’t tell people NO? the article this person wanted published when I came back was essentially titled “we need to make people love the country again”, and it’s fascist as fuck. omg (I know these people aren’t actually anarchists, they’re just young libs trying their best, maybe I shouldn’t have dipped)
Don’t even get me started on people bailing 1 month before the end of their term and suggesting we should just fold the org. I get your burnt out but OH MY FUCKING GOD. please excuse me while I scream FUCK as loudly as I can in my home.
One of the most frustrating things is that the bar for entry is so low that a bunch of unsafe “comrades” who are anti-communists, who I have kept out of other spaces, are now firmly embedded, and they complain that kicking people out is going to isolate them from community, and they’ll make vague threats of self-harm, yeah cool, that’s not abusive, this is fine.
Honestly everytime I stop smoking feels like the worst possible time to be doing it. I know this is all petty and silly, but wow I am just having a bad mental health week/month/year/life
No amount of easy listening will sooth my soul today comrades, this is a clusterfuck.
sigh
if i want a GF i have to download shudders the apps, don’t I?
yeah :(
nostalgia/regret?
I attended an event at my high school, and seeing people do things I used to do makes me feel a sense of nostalgia and simultaneously regret. I never thought I would feel like this, but the note that goes on the more I regret not transitioning earlier. I had most of the mental pieces I needed when I was in school, and I just wasn’t able to get past certain mental blocks, or bring myself to care. I feel nostalgia, not entirely for what happened, but for what could have been, what I could have done, how much I could have lived. Instead I made my way through school mostly as a husk going through the motions, mistaking getting better at doing that for living.
I already came to terms with all of this, and I understand that things happen a certain way, and my life might have been different if I transitioned earlier. I could never resist thinking about alternate history, but now I do it for myself as well.
I once again posted before journaling. Sorry for venting 😅
Is there a difference between gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia?
Is gender dysphoria like a subset of dysmorphia?
If a cis woman worries that she looks too masculine or a cis man frets about balding, do these count as gender dysphoria or dysmorphia?
What is the appropriate amount of worrying about one’s appearance before it gets pathologized? Lol
Got some dark purple nail polish today, really looking forward to it. I’ve been wanting purple for a while now
Talk of sex drive on estrogens, masturbation
Before I didn’t like horniness on testosterone because of how often I felt the need to get off, and overall I think I’m some form of ace so that made it worse. On estrogen I rarely feel horney and its so nice. I can just go like 2 weeks without getting off and just be fine, and when I do get horny, I actually like it
bottom dysphoria, masturbation
Main problem is I still get erections. Even if I just stimulate the tip I still get them, so maybe a vibrator will help me idk. Just having a dick and balls just annoys me, and having to see them if I want to have fun times is frustersting.
Also I still get random erections and it sucks
I think modern halloween is one of the dubs America can have. that shit is fun, and there’s a reason it has caught on all over the place. my dad refused to take me trick or treating as a kid calling it American shit, so I had to get neighbour to take me with their kids, and it was damn fun every time
the god damn rizzler was on jimmy fallon. still reeling
big article about transfemininity & plurality comes out
